04. Researcher B performs the same type of test on the same data set, but has labeled the two populations
opposite to A. Which of the following is most true? a) The two p—values will have opposite signs. c) Depends on the data.
he two p—values will be equal, period. d) None of the above.

3, here is 95% probability that the corresponding interval covers [1.
Q We can be 95% conﬁdent that n is larger than 13.
c We can be 95% conﬁdent that n is less than 13.
There is 95% probability that ,u is larger than 13. d)
1 . The sample mean and sample standard deviation (8) for a quantity are computed to be 370.69 and 24.36, respectively. Suppose you had believed a priori that the true mean ,u would be at most 360. Does
this data contradict this prior belief? on’t answer that! Just circle the one with the correct hypotheses.

on mean yield from 4 test plots is given in the Table. What kind of test must one perform to see
if the true average yield for the winter wheat is more than 500kg/ha higher than for Spring Wheat? Lot 1 2 3 4

A regression model of the form log(y) 2 04 + ﬁlm + 62m2 + 63m4 is used to ﬁt 100 cases of data. The

It can be shown that the quantity 0 2 T1 — %:r—2 — 5’73 has a normal distribution with mean given by 6 2 ,ul — $112 — $113.
2 a) What is the variance or standard deviation of that normal distribution (in terms of the notation deﬁned
here)? 2 b) What is the 95% conﬁdence interval for 6? You do NOT need to derive the answer; simply write it
down. If 9. sample of 319 font—seat occupants involved in head—on collisions in a certain region resulted in 95 I" who sustained no injuries. Does this data suggest that less than one third of all such accidents result in
no injuries? State the relevant hypotheses in well-deﬁned notation, compute the p-value, and state the conclusion in words (04: 0.01). 77 s fVafaV—hrg A .a‘/ S‘qu [Haj-“Ink; - (Q) “a 32% z = P‘W = (“lg/M)“ V3 -43; “MS” W-
